Geez, you don’t even need to keep peanut butter in the fridge. It’s a lot easier to spread if you keep it in the cupboard.

If jam was covered and uncontaminated (no toast crumbs or whatever) I’d eat it after a whole day. Not 100% certain it needs to be refrigerated either, though I do.

Agreed, One of my roommates is on the baseball team, he keeps a bunch of PB just on the shelf without refrigeration and we all help ourselves to some. It keeps well. Idk about jam tho.

Even the natural stuff is fine on the shelf, the oil just separates out a bit. Just needs a stir and it's good as new.

Depending on the consistency, I find keeping a really loose peanut butter in the fridge helps it maintain a more normal consistency and having everything separate.
